A FRENcHMAN's LONG SLEEP.

After Spree He Fails Asleep and Can Not
BE Wakened-Hy sterical Lethargy.
London Special
London is greatly interested in a remarkable
case of protracted sleep. Chouffat French
commercial traveller, after lively night of con-
VITALITY. retired to his hotel one week ago
to-day. He has been asleep ever since, and all
efforts to waken him have failed. He has been
visited during his sleep by nearly all of the noted
physicians in London. Yesterday he was visited
by Mr.. Brudenell Carter, DR.. Beevor, Sir
William MacCormack. DR.. Kesor and other
medical men, VINO tried various experiments
upon him. The room having been darkened a
lighted candle was held close to the sleeping
man, whose eyes were opened by Mr.. Brude-
nell Carter. On the eyes first being opened
the pupils were found to be slightly civerged,
but on the light being held closer they came
together and stared steadily at it. Mr.. Carter
then examined them, as is always done in cases
of this kind, and found that all the vessels,
both veins and arteries. were very small He
could see the vessels distinctly, but could not
get disc, although this would make no alter
alton in the result of the examination.
During the operation the eyes filled with water
and closed by themselves as though affected by
the light. Further experiments showed that
both sides OF the body alike in their con-
dtion and that cataleptic condition is stronger
in the limbs than sn the trunk Yesterday after
noon Chauffat was rather excited and his attend
ant took notes of what he said. He always talks
about money matters and occasionally of Char
cot and his hospital, but he does not answer
questions. He speaks like person who is
dreaming, and sometimes no laughs.

keep after they have stripped off ali the flesh.
And if the law required that the bodies be buried

that Mike and ianiror Hicks, too, would resign

He Is Not Seeking the Nomination, but Will
Accept if It Comes to Him.
Special to the Indianapolis JournaI.
WASHINGTON, April Moore has been said
about 1tf. Blaine and the candidacy for the
presidency during the past three or four days
than for months before. The announcement
that the ''Plumed Knight is going to Europe
to remain till after the nominations are made
next summer has called forth the talk People
in Washington are unanimous in regard to the
construction of Mr.. Blaine's design IN making
the trip abroad; that it is to give the Republican
parry an opportunity to choose candidate
without any embarrassment on account Of his
presence within communicating distance. His
friends say he will leave the matter entirely to
them. If he is nominated, very WE'LL but if not,
very we'll also. He proposes to put himself
beyond the point where i. can be said that he
is taking any part in the campaign for the
nomination. 1t is believed that he will take the
stump for any Republican who may be nom
mated unless he should be Senator Edmunds
of Vermont, and there is no likelihood of that
turn.
There are some personal friends of Mr. Blaine
in the city from Maine Only Maine men, it
seems have full authority to mouth the affairs
of Mr.. Blaine. and 1t is safe to assume that
many of them talk in presumed ex cathedra
attitude These Maine men say that Mr. Blaine
will positively not leave anyone here when he
goes abroad to conduct a campaign for him: that
he will suffer trades compromises; that he
is not seeking the nomination, but that if it is
rendered to him By a hearty goodwill. and evil
dencs is produced that the great bulk of the
party wants him, he will accept They deny
that he has gone West to consult his Western
political friends, or that he really hopes the
party will conclude to put him in the field again.

MINOR MATTERS.

The Authorities Decide Rigorous En-
forcement OF the Sunday Law.
Special to the Irdianapoiis journal.
WAsHINaToN, April 2-To-morrow will be
very quiet day in Washington. The authorities
have determined to enforce the Sunday law, and
two weeks ago began with a very good evidence
Sunday was Sunday indeed. There was an
absence of the crowds around the restaurants,
cafes and hotels, not to say saloons, and people
who went to church were not attracted by con-
gregations of dudes and street-hawkers WASH
ineton is not city of drunkenness, but of
genteel tipping and dram-drnking At no
place in the whole country do people act SO
nearly as they wish. 1t is respectable" as the
term goes, to do almost anything one wishes. in
full view Men and women go into and out OF
public drinking places Sunday-that is, they
have been doing so-and no one has stopped to
cali their attention to the improperly OF it,
whether on Sunday or other day.
Last Sunday a number of the most popular
restaurants took the blinds and screens away
from their front doors and windows, so as to
give clear view into their establish ments and
demonstrate that no business was being trans
acted. Special trouble was made to make every
thing look all straight, while at the same tune
their cafe on the upper floors, open for
the serving of meals. There, however, liquid
refreshments were sometimes to be had.
The Woman's Christian Temperance Union
began this last work of having the Sunday laws
enforced. and it looks as though they will come
as near succeeding as it is possible. The same
organization has also begun warfare on the
rank pictures displayed by cigarette, tobacco
and cigar dealers, and are having them taken

justified by the circumstances"
Mr.. Gladstone concluded by saying he did not

demonstration, agitation and protesteton.

WHO PAYS FOR JUDICIAL DRINKS?

Items in Bills of Federal Judges the Comp
troller Refuses to Allow.
Washington Special.
Some correspondence OF very lively nature
has been passing during the last few days be-
tween the First Comptroller's Office and Judge
Hammond, of the Western district of Tennes-
During the winter term Judge Hammond
was assigned to hold court for q few days at
Cincinnati, in the Southern district of Ohio on
account of the illness Of Judge Sage. In his ac-
counts for that period, the uncertain quantity Ut
let cetera" appeared, and Comptroller Durham
demands further enlightenment upon the mean
ing of that item. A new account was sent in
and the set cetera," being interpreted read:
"For drinks, Shines shaves and newspapers,
SIS"
The Comptroller declared that in the eyes of
the law it was not absolutely necessary for the
holding of a court that the Judge should be pro-
yided with an eye-opener in the morning. Nor
would the fact that his face was unshaved and
his boots unbacked detract from the majesty of
the law, and none OF these things could be called
legitimate travelling expenses, for the railway
company would have made no additional charge
for the extra weight of stubble beard
layer or two of Tennessee mud. Taking these
things into consideration, the Comptroller re-
fused to allow the $l5. matter if the vaults
of the Treasury were bursting with accumulated
millions
The correspondence which has ensued has
grown interesting, Judge Hammond declaring
that al! his expenses incurred while he was
travelling on Official business away from home
should be allowed, and the Comptroller taking
the ground outlined above besides reminding
the irate judge that had he been at home he
would have had to pay for his drinks, shines and
shaves out of his own pocket. Judge Hammond
was very moderate in the amount of his let Get
eras. and made shine do for two three days
and shaved only once or twice week, while he
drank when he felt like il.
Matthew P. Deadly, of Oregon, however, was
not of SO economical disposition. In his account
the let ceteras" ran up to over 5000 in a trip he
had to make to California TO hold court for a
sick judge. He presented claim for the 5000.
which the Comptroller disallowed. Deadly in
formed his friend. Justice Field, of the Supreme
Court, of this ruling, and that gentleman has
made frequent visits TO the Treasury Depart
ment to protest against the delay in the settle
ment of Judge Deady's accounts. Justice Field
supports his friend in his refusal to partic
the various items which form the sum total Of
the set ceteras' saying that no gentleman should
comply with such request. and declaring that
it reflected upon the honor of Judge Deadly to
demand such statement.
At last accounts both sides remained firm. and
there seems but little hope Of either Judge
Hammond or Judge Deady being allowed to buy
their drinks or keep their persons clean at the
expense of the long suffering public.
